''PopMaster'' is a popular music quiz on the ''Ken Bruce Show'' on BBC Radio 2. It usually takes place at around 10:30 a.m. on weekday mornings. ==Structure== Two contestants play against each other for the chance to win a DAB digital radio. Each contestant is given ten questions based on popular music from the 1950s right through to the present day. All the questions are worth 3 points excepting the three "bonus questions" (questions 3, 6 and 9) on a topic chosen (from two choices) by the contestant. These bonus questions involve listening to a snippet of music, and if answered correctly are worth 6 points. There is therefore a maximum total of 39 points on offer. The winning contestant then goes on to play "3 in 10". In this part, they have ten seconds to name three UK Singles Chart hits for a particular artist or group named by Ken Bruce. If they successfully manage this, they win the DAB digital radio; if they fail, they won an MP3 player. As of early 2015, the prize for failing '3 in 10' has been changed to a Bluetooth speaker. However, if a contestant scores 39 points in the main round, they win the Digital Radio anyway, and the other contestant would play "3 in 10" instead. Should both contestants score the same number of points (and the score is less than the maximum), a tie-break is used to decide which will play "3 in 10". The losing contestant wins a Radio 2 "One Year Out" T-shirt. The T-shirt is so designed because when answering "Name the Year" type questions, contestants are very often one year out, causing Ken to exclaim "One year out!". Previously, the losing contestant would receive a consolation prize of a Radio 2 CD wallet. At the end of the year, the best contestants (those who score 39 or 36 and also get the "three-in-ten") return for a "Champions League PopMaster", the structure of which is different; the contestants start with their original score from their first appearance, i.e. 36 or 39, and then proceed to answer ten questions which are worth their ordinal values, i.e. Question 1 is worth one point, Question 2 is worth two points and so on. The contestants still choose a bonus subject, but this is only worth its value in the order of the questions. The score is then added to their original score, and the highest-scoring two contestants return for a final to determine the year's champion. When Ken Bruce is on holiday, PopMaster continues with the stand-in presenters; these include Alex Lester, Stuart Maconie, Michael Ball, Claudia Winkleman, Richard Allinson, Aled Jones, Zoë Ball, and Sara Cox. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PopMaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
